Video: Painting with Real Wet Oil brushes

Another new category in Painter is Real Wet Oil. And this seems to be probably related to the development of the Real Watercolor model, and I'm going to show it to you and you can decide whether or not you would want to use it or not. I don't find it particularly as compelling as Real Watercolor, but it does have some very interesting attributes. And let's just take a look. I've got the Real Wet Oils open here, let's get Liquid Oil. And as I paint with this, you'll see similar to what happens in the Real Wet Watercolor, it expands outward a bit after it's been applied.

Join John Derry, one of the original Corel Painter authors, as he shares the creative techniques that will get beginners up and running, and shows old hands the new features that can get a creative vision out of your head and on to your canvas. The course demonstrates how to create projects, use Painter brushes and painting styles, build templates, and work with layers and channels. John also shares pointers on setting up a Wacom tablet to interface with Painter.

Topics include:

Exploring the changes in the Painter 12 interface

Customizing brushes and selecting painting styles

Laying out the optimal workspace

Controlling color with the color palettes

Adjusting brush size and stroke attributes

Working with texture-aware media

Quick cloning with the Clone Source panel

Auto-Painting with the Underpainting, Smart Stroke, and Restoration palettes

Painting with Real Wet Oil brushes

Another new category in Painter is Real Wet Oil.And this seems to be probably related to the development of the Real Watercolormodel, and I'm going to show it to you and you can decide whether or not youwould want to use it or not.I don't find it particularly as compelling as Real Watercolor, but it does havesome very interesting attributes.And let's just take a look.I've got the Real Wet Oils open here, let's get Liquid Oil.And as I paint with this, you'll see similar to what happens in the Real WetWatercolor, it expands outward a bit after it's been applied.

The difference is, the watercolor model is translucent and colors interact withone another, whereas here, they tend to be more a cover-type model, where it'scovering paint and there's some interaction that happens at the boundary betweenwherever it finds paint.It's got some interesting models like these Erosion Grainy, I think was one I was looking at.See how it's doing a pretty interesting physical kind of thing that is verymuch along the lines of kind of interacting a turpentine-like model with existing color.

Now sometimes I do see these artifacts appear, I'm not real sure.It seems like you can normally sort of brush them out if they are intrusive.Another one here is Turpentine.And you can see here this just kind of softens things up.One of the tricks with brushes like this is, no one stroke ever is very convincing.What is convincing is the overlaying and interaction of many strokes.So while I was being a little less than kind maybe at the outset, just evenplaying with this now, I'm seeing some very interesting textural and colorthings happening here.

So it is a useful model, but if you strictly want an oil painting look,something like Impasto is probably a little bit more fully realistic.One thing I wanted to show you though, is if we switch over to this image anduse the same turpentine model on here, check this out.This does some very interesting things to existing imagery that I don't knowhow else you'd get some of this.And you can play around with this with this Blend Rate.So as you change this, what happens, it's going to become more dramatic.

I'm noticing right now, trying to draw new strokes, there's a lot of heavycomputing going on here.And so, to try to go somewhere else and do some of this somewhere else on theimage, you may find that there is a little bit of a performance loss, becauseit's really trying to start to do these physical modeling tasks in severaldifferent places at once.But I would say at the very least, the new Real Wet Oil is a very interestingexperimentive medium that you'll definitely want to play with as an oil medium,and even trying some of the things that I've done here, where I'm interactingwith something like a photographic existing imagery.

Whoever thought, you could get some very interesting results that would be verydifficult, if impossible, to get any other way.So definitely check out Real Wet Oil and perhaps you'll find that it's exactlythe medium you've been looking for.

Q: When I double-click the John's Smart Brushes.brushcategory file as shown in the Chapter 8 movie "Understanding the Underpainting palette," the brushes do not install. Instead I get the message "There is no application set to open this document."

A: This is because your operating system does not recognize the .brushcategory file type. This can be circumvented by selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing "Open With…".

If Painter 12 is not in the list, use "Other…" to locate and select Painter 12.

The file will be read by Painter and the brush category will be installed.
